Epitalon

50mg
Epitalon, also known as Epithalon, is a synthetic tetrapeptide with a unique role in modulating the activity of the enzyme telomerase, which is responsible for maintaining and elongating telomeres—the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes. Telomere shortening is a natural process that occurs during cellular replication and is closely associated with the aging process and cellular senescence. By upregulating telomerase activity, Epitalon may contribute to maintaining telomere length, which is believed to promote cellular longevity and chromosomal stability.
Beyond its effects on telomerase, Epitalon has been studied for its ability to modulate the pineal gland’s function, including the regulation of melatonin secretion. Melatonin plays a crucial role in synchronizing the circadian rhythm, and disruptions in melatonin signaling have been linked to aging and various age-related disorders. Research on Epitalon suggests that it may also influence immune function and the body’s antioxidant defense system, offering protection against oxidative stress. These properties make Epitalon an important peptide in studies related to aging, cellular health, and neuroendocrine function.
